i owe you an apology friend and bow dont before your greatness

spain chocked like the 2 bit whores you predicted they would be:oops:

[Alf uckem]

its was a great game nether the less, and the wizard scored a magical goal in the 90th to finish em off

[RobCheadle]

I'll add my apology! I predicted Spain would walk all over France too. How wrong I was, what a disappointment!

I still think Brazil made their win look easy BM. They were shit but still walked it, even though Ghana were worthy opponenents.

[Buckledmac]

2 of their goals were offside though eh Rob?

[RobCheadle]

The first one wasnt. The second one wasnt either, although before the second goal (about 2 or 3 passes before it) there was an offside decission missed. Therefore the goal should never have happened yeah.

That said though, Brazil could easily have made it 5 or 6.

[skippy440]

So what that France barely scraped through the opening
round to play Spain, and beat them. Who here thinks that
they actually have a chance against Brazil?

Brazil 5
France 0 (ok maybe 1)

:coke:

[So Warped]

Thanks but where is my £100 that we bet :w00t2:

I would rather have seen Spain win too if only for the fact it would mean no more Desailly on the beeb.

[Colander]

Henri? what is his problem he spen the whole game offside and throwing his hands up in Gallic gestures and whining at teamantes...then he acts as if he's been smashed in the nose with an axe when Puyol tapped his chest. im seriously dissapointed by a player that I always respected. I hate the french, anoyone care to jump that bandwagon? *waits for stampede*

**Jumps on bandwagon. Totally agree.. I used to respect Henri too. Now I think he's a loser.

[Alf uckem]

i hope you got a big enough bandwagon, very dissapointed he would take a dive like that

[gerb]

Wait for me, Wait for me

*Jumps on the Bandwagon*

French Prick!!!! Great player, loadsa respect for the guy or did have :asshole:

[Buckledmac]

*hitches up additional bandwagon*

i couldnt believe it myself..............i havent been that disgusted since the Rivaldo incident 4yrs ago that ended his career more or less

i did have a lot of respect for henry, not any more

perhaps Arongazo(spelling lol spanish manager) was correct in his views ;-)

[Santo]

In all fairness, Henry played for the team, he being outside the whole game had the two defenders (Puyol and Pablo) too worried, so much that they forgot about the rest of frances offensive players. Cause Henry could easily step a foot behind and start running like he knows and they wouldnt have catch him, but France's coach designed the game that way, imho.

I love short memories and the hypocrisy of every football fan:w00t2:

Rivaldo
Brazil v Turkey, World Cup, 2002

Hit in the leg by a football - always nasty - Rivaldo felt the pain searing in his face. Referee Yung Joo Kim, seeing him clutch his head, sent off the ball-kicker, Hakan Unsal. Fifa fined Rivaldo £5,180. 'I'm calm about the punishment, and I am not sorry about anything,' he told reporters. 'I was both the victim and the person who got fined. Obviously the ball didn't hit me in the face, but I was still the victim. I did not hit anyone in the face! Nobody remembers what that Turk did to me. I'm not a player who fakes fouls.'

#5
Slaven Bilic
Croatia v France, World Cup semi-final, 1998

Feeling the hairs on the back of Laurent Blanc's hand brush his cheek, Bilic went down, his hands covering his face. He stayed down until Blanc had been dismissed, which meant he was suspended for the World Cup Final. 'He only had himself to blame,' said Bilic. 'I am not a cheat, I am honest. I am not to blame. After all, he hit me in my face.' Bilic was condemned by the PFA, colleagues and fans across Europe, including his own in Croatia.

#4
Jurgen Klinsmann
West Germany v Argentina, World Cup Final, 1990

Germany had no answer to Argentina's solid, anti-football until Klinsmann collected the ball on the right and tried to go past Pedro Monzon. Monzon was lining something up - a tackle, perhaps even a foul - but before he'd had a chance, Klinsmann was soaring above him. Arcing through the air, he broke into three jarring, electric rolls. He'd done enough to see Monzon sent off - the first red card in a World Cup Final. Germany won with a penalty, awarded following a late Rudi Völler air trip.

Roberto Rojas
Brazil v Chile, World Cup qualifier, 1989

Overrun and intimidated, Chile needed a way out. The plan: force an abandonment and a replay in a neutral venue. The execution: on 69 minutes, goalkeeper Rojas threw himself into the smoke of a firecracker, which had landed nearby, pulled a razor blade from his glove and stabbed himself in the head. The result: lots of blood, a mass brawl, a walkout, an abandonment - but, after video evidence, no replay. Instead, Brazil were awarded the game, Chile were out of one World Cup and excluded from the next, Rojas was banned for life and the woman who threw the firecracker was signed up by Playboy Brazil. In May 2001, Fifa lifted the ban. 'At 43, I'm unlikely to play again,' said Rojas, now coach at São Paulo, 'but at least this pardon will cleanse my soul.'

Fabio Grosso
Italy v Australia, 2006

Eight seconds from the end of the game Grosso broke into the Australia box and fell over in a style more dramatic than any italian opera. Totti scores. Australia go home.

#1
Michael Owen
England v Argentina, 2002

After 44 minutes England went 1-0 up. Inside the penalty area on the left side, Michael Owen moved the ball to his right towards the centre of the box - An Argentinian defender breathes near him, Owen goes down like the Belgrano. Penalty to England.

"If you get fouled in the box you’d be a fool if you were scrambling to stay on your feet when it’s a clear penalty”

[Buckledmac]

Aragones is a racist, dont you remember his comments about henry last summer?

that was kinda my point mate, nvm the joke seems lost on ya lol

Of course, I am as hypocritical as the next person when it come to supporting my own team.
